Went camping on Sept 23-24 at a place called Calico Rock with Luke, Nate, Alan and Caleb. That's the river we camped next to. Anyway here is how we ended up there. We planned to camp at Blanchard Springs but when we got there the camp ground was very full as in you can reach out and touch your neighbor and they where all scary hill people. So where like lets get out here, so we drove back to this store and asked if there where any other good sites around and so we went and looked at them and none where what we where looking for. There was this one site that you had to drive across this wooded suspended bridge that made some serious noise when we drove across it. Anyway we headed North on highway 5 because there where supposed to be some more sites up that way. Well after driving for about 10mins we passed this "camping site", which was really just a gravel pit, we laughed at it as we passed. So after driving for another 5-10mins, Caleb wanted to turn back, he was driving point, but Luke and I got out the road atlas and saw that we where only about 10mins from Calico rock, so we passed him and kept on going. When we got to the town, that's part of it to the right,
it was dark so we pulled over and waited for Caleb to catch up. So we debated a little on what to do next and decided to just drive through the town and see what we see. So right at the first turn we see two signs for camping places. We follow them. Luke and I are at point and we come up on the first place and try and read the sign in the dark as we drove by. I saw the sign for the next place so Luke continues on the road. We cross some railroad tracks and make comments about this bull that was out of its pen standing next to the road. Then we spot the turn in sign for the second place. We pull in and there is nobody at the office so Caleb calls a number posted on the door and they tell us to just pick a spot and make our selves at home. We picked a spot at the very end of the place away from the other couple of campers there and proceeded to make camp and get the fire started in the dark, that was fun. I will finish the rest of the story tomorrow. Semper Fi
